Summary: Kingdom Hearts Settings/Characters. Sora is a schoolboy at the local high school.

He's starting his second year so it's back to school for him and his friends, Kairi and Wakka. This year their friends, Selphie and Tidus are starting their first year and there are a few new students and teachers as well.

Thank-you for the reviews on and other postings.

Answering Questions:

Yes, Riku's a smoker! I made it pretty clear… And no, CC, I'm not changing that!

No, Sora doesn't have a last name yet " ((might this time))

Yes, I obviously changed the ages around if Wakka is the same age as Sora and Kairi. XP

I'm updating Unlocking Destiny as soon as I recover my files.


CHAPTER TWO: Blonde Wonder

"Are you sure mum?" Sora waited to lock the door behind his mom who was leaving for work.

"I'm sure Sora. I'll just buy my lunch today… You head to the school and check the postings." She kissed her son's forehead and left the house waving bye as she left.

"Bye mom! Love you!" Sora called after his mom.

"See you after work sweetie."


After Sora locked the door he decided to go make himself some breakfast. He went to the kitchen and started to toast some bread and get the peanut butter out of the pantry. Sora covered his toast in the smooth topping and set himself a spot at the table.

He ate his food and washed his dishes and just as he turned off the tap the phone rang. He ran straight to the phone and lifted the receiver. He knew exactly who it was.

"Hey Kairi!" Sora answered to the other line.

"Hi Sora. Wakka says we should go now so we don't have to wait in line. Is it alright with you?"

"Yeah sure! I'll be right there." Sora hung up the phone and slipped his shoes on, running out of the house to meet Kairi and Wakka.

The three friends met at the corner of their street as usual and made way towards their high school.

"What teachers do you think you'll get this year?" Wakka asked his friends.

"Umm… I'm not sure. I know that I'll probably have mostly the same ones as last year…" Kairi answered. Their school had the same teachers teach the first and second years and the same teachers taught the third and forth/fifth.

"Same thing, only I'm taking advanced communications this year so I guess I'll be in a class with third and forth years." Sora announced.

"No way! I didn't know you were taking advanced communications!" Wakka looked at Sora surprised.

"Oh… I didn't tell you?" Sora blushed lightly.

I knew I was forgetting something.


The three teens arrived at the school and headed for the front office. When they arrived they received their schedules and new personal maps of the school.

"Hey, looks like we got most of the same classes together, ya?" Wakka pointed out. It was true; the timetables were almost identical, save Sora's advanced communication technologies class in comparison to Wakka and Kairi's music class.

They began to look around the open parts of the school finding new classrooms and refreshing their memory.

"Hmm… Second year music class? Where's that going to be?" Kairi looked confused at a school map trying to pinpoint the second year music room.

"Let's go look for it… Second Floor I think." Wakka replied also studying the map.

"I'm going to go look for my communication's classroom, okay?" Sora said taking his own map.

"Alright, let's meet up outside at the fountain afterwards, okay?" Wakka and Kairi wondered off in search for their music room.

Sora studied the map again.

Hmm… Third Floor! Oh wow, I've never even been up there!

The first and second years didn't usually have classes on the third floor. Sora walked up one of the two school staircases and looked around the unfamiliar floor.

"I'm certainly going to get lost more than once up here…" He walked in the direction he guessed his communications classroom to be.

Turning a corner to get to the class, he walked into a head on collision. He quickly got to his feet and said sorry. Then he looked to see whom he had accidentally bumped into.

"Sorry. It's all right… That's the problem with corners; you never know what's just around the bend." Said a tall blonde male with blue eyes almost as vibrant as Soras'. Sora guessed the boy to be in his third or fourth year.

Sora looked up at the taller male and said with unfamiliar confidence, "Could you help me find this classroom?" He pointed to the classroom on the map.

"Sure… Hmm, lets see… Oh, advanced communications technology, right?" The blonde asked. Sora nodded. "I'm in that class too, but, hey, you don't look like a third year, let alone forth."

"Oh, I'm only in second year. My teacher last year suggested this course to me saying I had enough credits." Sora blushed lightly. He didn't look that young; did he?

"Oh I see… Well, I'm Cloud Strife. I'm a fifth year; just staying back for some extra credits." Cloud held out his hand.

Sora shook his hand, "My name's Sora Saccharine."

"Nice to meet you, Sora."

"You too." Sora replied quietly. Cloud began to walk down the hall, motioning Sora to follow. He led him to the advanced communications classroom.

"So you know where you're going now right?" Cloud asked as Sora drew imaginary paths along the map with the tip of his finger.

"Yup! Thank-you so much."

"Not a problem."

"Well I have to go meet some friends now. See you on the first day then, right?" Sora said looking at his watch guessing it was time to go meet Wakka and Kairi.

"Yeah, see you then." Cloud gave a quick wave of his hand before leaving down the hall in the opposite direction Sora went.


By the time Sora had made his way outside to the fountain Wakka and Kairi were already there.

"Hey guys!" Sora ran up to meet his friends. "Sorry if I kept you waiting too long."

"Not at all, Sora… We just got here a few minutes ago ourselves." Kairi assured Sora he hadn't kept them waiting.

"So what do you guys want to do for the rest of the day?" Sora asked the two teens.

"How about we go get Tidus and Selphie and go see a movie?" Kairi suggested.

"Any new movies out?" Wakka asked.

"Umm… I don't remember what's out right now…" Kairi scratched her head lightly as if it would help her remember.

"I know, how about we see when we get there, ya?" Wakka suggested.

"Okay lets go find T and Selphie then." Sora said as they began to walk back towards their neighbourhood.
